In this volume, Karl Brunnhölzl offers translations of three versions of the Aspiration Prayer of Samantavhadra and accompanies them with translations of the commentaries by Jigmé Lingpa, the Fifteenth Karmapa, and Tsültrim Sangpo.

The Aspiration Prayer of Samantabhadra, one of the most famous
and often-recited Dzogchen texts, is at once an entreaty by the
primordial buddha, Samantabhadra, that all sentient beings recognize the
nature of their minds and thus become buddhas, and also a wake-up call
by our own buddha nature itself. This monumental text outlines the
profound view of Dzogchen in a nutshell and, at the same time, provides
clear instructions on how to discover the wisdom of a buddha in the very
midst of afflictions.

He offers further
contextualization with his rich annotation and appendices, which include
additional translation from Jigmé Lingpa, Longchenpa, and Patrul
Rinpoche. This comprehensive, comprehensible book illuminates this
profound text and greatly furthers our understanding of Dzogchen—and of
our own nature.
